Pregnancy workouts

I have been doing lots of ballet, barre, and Pilates type workouts this pregnancy.  It has felt so good! i feel like these workouts are perfect for keeping my body trim and tone with very low impact.  These would be perfect for the postpartum period too.  Here are the ballet DVDs I like:
Element ballet conditioning
Ballet beautiful total body workout
Ballet beautiful body blast
Tracy Anderson's mat workout
Tracy Anderson's pregnancy project
I really love all of these DVDs.  I got some of them at the library before I bought them, so if your interested, you might wanna check there first.   I actually just keep checking out the pregnancy project because it s kind of expensive.  It is fun though because there is a new workout for every month of pregnancy, so you feel like you are progressing.
I have also been going to a pure barre class 2 times a week.  I got a groupon for it and I absolutely love it.  It is very similar to the videos.  There is mat work and bar work and I feel great after I'm done.  There is a lot of small movements and isometric training.  It burns!  
I started the DVDs before I got pregnant and I immediately noticed a difference in my body.  I was just tighter.  I especially noticed my arms were more tone after doing Tracy Anderson's mat workout.  She has a killer arm section in there.   So if your interested in getting into the ballet trend,  do it!
